High impact information on egl-26
- This results in formation of an abnormally thick layer of vulval tissue at the apex of the vulva and a physical blockage of the exit to the vulva from the uterus. egl-26 was cloned and is predicted to encode a novel protein [1].
- Two of these connection of gonad defective (Cog) mutants carry alleles of the egl-26 gene [1].
- Mosaic analysis indicates that egl-26 activity is required in the primary vulval lineage for vulF morphogenesis [1].
